history

Project history and usage

Foundry is a Rust-written toolkit for Ethereum application development. The package ships the `forge`, `cast`, `anvil`, and `chisel` commands for building and testing Solidity contracts, interacting with EVM chains, running a local node, and using a Solidity REPL.

Project history

The `foundry-rs/foundry` repository was created in 2021. Its README presents Foundry as a fast, portable, modular Ethereum development toolkit and splits the suite into Forge, Cast, Anvil, and Chisel.

The official docs now organize Foundry around installation with `foundryup`, project setup, dependencies, Forge workflows, Cast chain interaction, Anvil local node usage, Chisel sessions, and `foundry.toml` configuration.

Adoption history

Foundry became a common smart-contract development package because it moved the Ethereum workflow into fast local CLIs: Solidity tests through Forge, forked-chain testing through Anvil, RPC and wallet tasks through Cast, and repeatable installs through `foundryup`, GitHub Releases, Docker, Homebrew, and source builds.

How it is used

The README's basic workflow is `forge init`, `forge build`, and `forge test`; common operational workflows include `cast block-number`, `cast balance`, and `anvil --fork-url` for a forked local chain. Configuration is kept in `foundry.toml` with profiles and environment-variable overrides.

Why package nerds care

Foundry is important in package history because it packaged a complete blockchain developer workstation as native CLIs rather than a JavaScript-only toolchain. It also made release management and version switching part of the package story through `foundryup`, nightly builds, binary attestations, Docker images, and Cargo builds.

Timeline

  • 2021: The public `foundry-rs/foundry` repository was created.
  • 2026: GitHub tags included stable v1.7.x releases and GitHub Releases continued to publish nightly builds.
  • 2026: The official installation docs described `foundryup` as the installer and version manager and listed precompiled binaries, Docker, and source builds as alternatives.

Related projects

  • Foundry is related to Ethereum, Solidity, EVM-compatible chains, GitHub artifact attestations, Docker images, Cargo/Rust builds, and the earlier smart-contract tooling ecosystem that it complements or replaces in many projects.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for foundry. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Installs with 1 runtime dependencies.
  • Build metadata lists 2 build dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.
